2018 Map of Arcadia SE

About this map

Hummingbirds Landing and Hennessy Airport anchor a landscape defined by expansive ranching and rural operations along the boundary of DeSoto and Charlotte counties. The terrain is crisscrossed by a complex network of named agricultural and ranching access routes, such as Ryals Ranch Rd and Se Notts Dairy Rd, which suggest the area's primary economic focus. Hydrological patterns are dominated by the winding path of Prairie Cr and the broad reaches of Myrtle Slough, which drain the flatlands toward the south. Smaller water bodies like Hog Bay Lake, Pine Island Lake, and Thimble Lake are scattered throughout, often adjacent to specialized local ways like Se Shell Pit Rd. This 2018 survey illustrates a modern transition of traditional Florida ranch lands into more segmented holdings while maintaining the large-scale drainage and transportation infrastructure required for this environment.
